Fill Centers USA ... problems and questions
smatyas replied to delrio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Like I said, I stay out of these things. I'm not in the habit of arguing. All policies are explained to everyone who schedules with any one of our locations at the time of scheduling. -
How well do you tolerate oatmeal?
smatyas replied to smatyas's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i eat it that way every morning... It is seriously like eating Peanut Butter oatmeal Cookies... Oatmeal alone makes me hungry in a few hours, I add the peanut butter for the Protein content. I usually eat the quaker high Fiber oatmeal, cinnamon flavor. -
Judie,
I apologize for not getting back with you more quickly, I was out of the office for a while. I noticed that you are in Katy Texas which potentially could be a good thing as Fill Centers USA has a location in the Bellaire area of Houston on Chimney Rock Road. If you are interested in learning more about this provider, you can contact our Patient Relations department at 866-345-5872. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Anyone excited for this to start next month? I have to say that I'm neither here not there this year.

I am curious - as of now - who you would like to see as President... P.S. There is only an option to have 15 listed and there are 16 running.

Excellent! And down 12 lbs in less than a month? -
I actually have never swallowed barium myself, but I do know they have different flavors available now.

Fill Capacities of Certain Band Types
smatyas replied to anniedub's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Inamed currently has 5 different band sizes. I will place the max fill volume next to each size for your reference. 9.75cm - 4cc 10cm - 4cc VG (VanGuard) 10cc APS - 10cc APL - 14cc -
That is why I have mixed feelings on this device. I know that if you ahve a pacemaker, you won't be eligible for this device because they are also adjusted telemetrically. While it does have a similar anatomy to current bands, from what I understand there isn't really a part to inflate/deflate, it will be adjusted similar to a hose clamp, with a twisting mechanism in the interior of the band clasp.

Country girl jangled my nerves last week when she ruined Journey...

I have been watching this product for some time. It seems very interesting... I have mixed views of the device.

lol, dangit that doesn't make any sense... I like the young David and the rocker David. The stripper David I'm not fond of. So 2 out of 3 Davids I like.
-
I have 4 favs this year... Carly, Brooke, and the 2 Davids.

Poor lady at the top is probably a member who is afraid to post because everyone is ripping her a new one about that damn appple... lol Maybe if we named her it would make everyone feel better about her presence. I vote for Gwendolyn.

Well, I'm not extremely impressed this year. I thought the best part of this years performances is when Blake came on to do his new song. It reminded me of how good (Sanjaya aside) last year was... I'm not seeing the meat behind the claims that this is the most talented year ever. Did ya'll hear Sanjaya is doing the bar mitzvah scene?

Go see your doctor immediately.

That is true. Good Idea!

I am curious to see who may be interested in a LBT event in Las Vegas. I have had this burning idea for about a year now, and may have the desire to see it through to fruition. I am thinking Vegas because flights are cheap and everyone just needs an excuse to go there... Let me know what you think!
-
I'm not worried about a location that will accept patients in vegas... we already have one. I'm just looking for people from all over the country who would like to join us for a fun, educational bandster bash in Sin City!
-
OK... This is getting serious. If everyone wouldn't mind kinda getting the word out to see ballpark how many would be interested in the Las Vegas event, I am looking at hotels and conference rooms.
-
Look at this chart. It may help.

'08 - Who do you want?

The only thing I have heard that sparks my interest from Huckabee is removing the IRS. I am for McCain now, but don't like his stance on illegals. There is no chance for me to vote for a Dem, so the other two are out of the question. -
I agree - it is getting better.
-
OK - I am getting ready to do a cost analysis in effort to see if this can be accomplished without breaking the bank.
